Here it is, your first taste of the Halloween RPG! We will release more info shortly, please take a look at the "TO CREATE A CHARACTER" page for rules.
The following are cursory character profiles for groups of NPCs, that at least one of which will be good friends with your character. (Thereby giving you access to be in their clique.) There is a lot more to these characters, and I will even make nicer pictures of them soon, but this is just so you can begin to decide about your characters.
For now, we won't limit who goes in what clique, but if everyone is piling into one to the exclusion of others, we may move people around or ask you to change. Feel free to brainstorm ideas or ask us our opinions.
NOTE -- "VICIOUS RUMOR ABOUT HIM/HER" are probably entirely untrue. These are the sort of terrible, demented, bitchy things that may be heard about this person.

CLIQUE:
ART KIDS/ ALT KIDS
LEADER: NAME: Lucy Garfield GENERAL DESCRIPTION & BIO: Lucy was just voted President of the art club. She is very good at drawing, and is a moderately good student. Lucy is kind but not a push-over. Until recently, she was in a clique with Jen Washoe and Jennifer Kessler, until they began hanging out with older kids and partying. Now Lucy and her friend Heather have befriended some interesting types from the art club and hanging out with the school's musicians. AGE/GRADE LEVEL: 16/Junior CLUBS/JOB: Art club VICIOUS RUMORS ABOUT HER: Had affair with Ian Davis-- that's the reason for break up of friendship w/ the two Jens, she's got a hormonal condition that keeps her from growing boobs, she's a virgin BF/GF?: Single FAVORITE MUSIC: Tells everyone she likes Depeche Mode the best. Sort of secretly loves Duran Duran. See also Tears for Fears, Pet Shop Boys, The Psychedelic Furs, Gary Numan.  NAME: Heather Collins GENERAL DESCRIPTION & BIO: Lucy's best friend since 4th grade, and used to be friends with Jen Washoe and Jennifer Kessler. Jennifer's gone a bit 'new wave' in the last year, perhaps in an attempt to fit in with her new alternative friends. Parents are terribly upset about it, they've always been over protective. A bit of a ditz, but friendly to everyone. AGE/GRADE LEVEL: 16/Junior CLUBS/JOB: Yearbook staff, works at Arby's downtown on the weekend VICIOUS RUMORS ABOUT HER: Lesbian, gave a rockstar a blowjob (either singer of Def Leppard or Lionel Richie) BF/GF?: Single FAVORITE MUSIC: D2 FOREVAHH! Heather loves Duran Duran, and doesn't care who knows. Also, Culture Club, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Thompson Twins  NAME: Ann "Ivy" Ferrell GENERAL DESCRIPTION & BIO: Ivy is one of PHS' only goths, along with Michael. They are always seen together, so people assume they're a couple. Ivy loves painting, and draws ghoulish pictures to entertain her friends. She is short and chubby, and used to get picked on more before she befriended Michael. She's dyed her brown hair black and wears dramatic eye makeup, which has gotten her talked to by school staff several times. (What are they gonna do about it though???) AGE/GRADE LEVEL: 16/Junior CLUBS/JOB: Art club member, painting, works at Goodwill VICIOUS RUMORS ABOUT HER: Blood drinking satanist abortion-having fat fatty fat lesbian! BF/GF?: Michael??? FAVORITE MUSIC: Biggest Cure fan ever. Siouxsie, New Order, Christian Death, Bauhaus, Sex Gang Children. Michael's getting her more into industrial but it's a bit heavy for her.  NAME: Michael Simpson GENERAL DESCRIPTION & BIO: Michael is easily identified as the most 'alternative' looking person at PHS for the most part. He was always terribly picked on, and in the past few years has developed an aggressively gothic/dark persona and appearance. Is friends with Ivy, and they are almost always seen together, limiting the bullying either of them receive. Can actually be quite nice when someone gets to know him, but is very brusque and quiet otherwise. AGE/GRADE LEVEL: Senior/18 CLUBS/JOB: Art club hanger-on, helps at Dad's mechanic shop VICIOUS RUMORS ABOUT HIM: Gay faggot Satanist cannibal Satan-worshipper! Adopted because his biological parents didn't love him. BF/GF?: Ivy???

LEADER: NAME: Ian Davis GENERAL DESCRIPTION & BIO: Ian Davis is a new student this year, in his senior year sadly. He moved with his mom from the larger city of Seaport, and feels a bit put out about it. He seems to be enjoying much more popularity at this new school though, and even dated the hottest popular girl, Jen Washoe, briefly. They had some sort of falling out though, and he is now avoiding her. He's an indie rocker type, not common at PHS so he projects an aura of cool, especially being new and from the city.

Band! Marching band. VICIOUS RUMORS ABOUT HER: Lesbian, has a penis, peed her pants in gym class. BF/GF?: Joshua Ashton. So nice!

CLIQUE:
STONERS/REJECTS
LEADER: NAME: Richie Decker GENERAL DESCRIPTION & BIO: Richie is a greasy haired, acne-encrusted, oily wisp of a man. He wears metal shirts, army fatigue jackets, and filthy jeans. Surprisingly effective fighter despite being five foot ten and one hundred fifteen pounds. Somehow is an alpha dog among lowlife rejects - true metal kids, hard stoners, the handicapped, and the clinically insane. His rep as a dealer brings in a lot of business. AGE/GRADE LEVEL:17/Senior ~will never have enough credits to graduate. CLUBS/JOB: Drug dealer. VICIOUS RUMORS ABOUT HIM: Retarded, fathered three crack babies, smokes crack, deals all the drugs. BF/GF?: A few exes at the alternative high school.  NAME: Jesse Bagger GENERAL DESCRIPTION & BIO: Jesse is a monster. He has some low level of mental handicap and was badly abused in middle school, but the rage he barely contains seems out of proportion to it. Mostly he ends up hurting his fellow geeks, as they're the only ones who hang out with him, but somehow they forgive the odd emergency room visit and keep him around. Has managed to become a drug contact for rejects, peddling what adult dealers in his apartment complex give him. AGE/GRADE LEVEL: 18/Senior ~will never have enough credits to graduate. CLUBS/JOB: Very small time drug dealer. VICIOUS RUMORS ABOUT HIM: Child molester, shits his pants in public, bit off a kid's ear. BF/GF?: One would hope not. Is frequently around Jessica Hiddle.  NAME: Jessica Hiddle GENERAL DESCRIPTION & BIO: Jessica is a wraith. She has no presence and no voice and wants neither. On the rare occasion someone notices her tiny frame, she may smile in a sickly way that sends them shivering back into comfortable ignorance. She can't speak above a whisper and seems likely to be a victim of extreme abuse. AGE/GRADE LEVEL: 16/Junior ~will never have enough credits to graduate. CLUBS/JOB: Shoplifting. VICIOUS RUMOR ABOUT HER: No one knows her enough to say anything about her. BF/GF?: Hangs out with Jesse Bagger and sometimes others in his clique of extreme rejects. Doesn't say anything.  NAME: Albert Spivey GENERAL DESCRIPTION & BIO: Albert fit right in with his family - mediocre hygiene, interest in WWII military history and technology, oddball sense of humor. But something set him apart. In school, he could only get along with total rejects, because they were the only ones who could laugh off his bad behavior. With others, he could be best friends for three months, but would then do something totally offensive, disappear, or otherwise sabotage the relationship. He seems to have difficulty seeing the world in a conventional way and finding any path in life aside from utter dissolution. Now he's on inhalants and anything else people will give him for cheap or free. He just started being a punk rocker a year ago and has gone into it headlong, mostly replacing his model airplane hobby with collecting tapes and paraphernalia. AGE/GRADE LEVEL: 17/Senior CLUBS/JOB: None. VICIOUS RUMORS ABOUT HIM: Gay faggot, neo-nazi, glue sniffer. BF/GF?:Doesn't know. You might be in this clique if...You have a physical or mental disability, are mentally ill, are extremely socially maladjusted due to neglect or abuse, know anything about true heavy metal or punk rock, are an impoverished ethnic minority and male, or have drugs or alcohol as your central reason for being.
